Enhance Your Results

While most patients who undergo bariatric surgery achieve dramatic weight loss, some patients only lose minor amounts of weight. At our Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, practice, we can identify the reason for this surgical failure and recommend options for revising your results.

Prevent Weight Regain

There are many different factors that can lead to weight regain after bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery revision may be able to stop further weight gain and put your weight loss back on track.

Restore Your Health

In some cases, a previous surgery performed with a now-outdated technique can cause health complications. Our team can perform revision surgery to correct these complications and improve your overall health.
